SLIDING GLASS DOOR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION Series 680/780
NOTICEREADING THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST AND FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES IN
PROPER SEQUENCE WILL REDUCE FRUSTRATION, COSTLY MISTAKES AND
WASTED TIME.
• Protect main frame only with light coating of oil, grease or soap. Action of lime in plaster can destroy finish.
• Sill must be smooth … buff edges and fill any valleys left by mason. A ridge or lump could cause latching problems.
• If installed in wood surround, measure assembled door frame, add shim space and make
surround to these dimensions.
• Before installing any sliding glass door it is recommended that you read through this document,
identify all of the parts being used and verify that you are not missing any before attempting to
install the product. This will keep you from having to board up an opening if any parts are
damaged or missing.
• Once all parts are accounted for and are viewed as being in good condition, only then should
you follow the instructions step by step.

will need to be tapped into place with a plastic or rubber
mallet. Place sealant along the edge where the two
extrusions will overlap. (See Figure 1)
2) Set the track on an even, flat, fully supported surface
and then gently tap the sill riser onto the sill.
3) Assemble mainframe using
the supplied # 8 x 1” Phillips
pan head screws at each
assembly hole. (See Figure 2)

1) Seal under entire length of sill and all frame seams. Make
sure to include where the frame sill and head meet the
mainframe jambs. (See Figure 3)
2) Set frame in opening and shim as necessary to make frame
plumb, level, and square. Shim behind all frame jamb and
header installation screws and near mortise keeper to
prevent frame distortion when installation screws are
tightened.
Note: Frame head, jamb, and track must be level, square, and
frame jamb must be plumb at jambs. Measure at head, sill,
and midpoint horizontally to be certain that frame is not bowed.
Measure from top to bottom across the entire frame from left to
right to make sure there are no rises in the sill or dips in the
header. Rises in the sill or dips in the header could prevent the
panels from being installed. Do not over tighten frame installa-
tion screws, this could warp the frame. (See Figure 4)
3) Attach frame to opening per PGT’s specifications
and in compliance with all local code requirements,
Notices of Acceptance, or test reports.

PANEL INSTALLATION
PGT offers many sliding glass door configurations; please see the panel orientation sheet to make sure you have
the correct panels on the correct tracks.
Figure 14
Shipping labels on panels will have the panel
number and letter name on them; they will be
installed in order from left to right. Please see
the configuration page for the proper track the
panel goes onto. (See Figure 13)
PANEL NUMBER
PANEL LETTER1) Position panel so the top of panel slips into the frame header
channel. Swing bottom of panel in until bottom of panel is
aligned over sill channel and set panel on roller spline.
(See Figure 14)
2) Repeat procedure, with next outer panel until all panels are
installed.
3) Panels are always installed with roller adjustment holes to the
exterior.
4) To adjust rollers on panels use a phillips head screwdriver to
turn adjustment screws located on the bottom outside of
panel. (See Figure 15)

Screw guns can strip the adjustment screws and there-
fore are not recommended. To raise panels, pick up the
panel at the edge to relieve the weight pressure on the
wheels, then adjust by turning adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE. To lower panels turn adjustment screws
COUNTERCLOCKWISE then use weight pressure on
the panel to set the wheels to the new adjustment level.
WARNING: When raising and lowering the wheels, if
you feel pressure do not continue as this could cause
the adjustment screw to strip. Adjust each panel until all
panels roll freely and all panel stiles and frame jambs
are parallel when in the closed position. (See Figure 16)
CORRECTPANELS STILES AND FRAME
JAMBS ARE PARALLEL
INCORRECTPANELS STILES AND FRAME
JAMBS ARE SKEWED
5) Once all panels are set into place and have been
adjusted properly, check the reveals and operation
to verify that everything is in proper working order.
You are now ready to start installing the hardware.
HELPFUL TIP:
If you have any non-moving panels in your
configuration then proceed to fixed panel
hardware section. If not, skip to the locking
hardware section.
The fixed panel clip will be color matched to the frame. Attach the clip to the panel first. Open the panel and
screw the clip to the panel with the supplied #10 x ¾ self drilling screw. After attaching the clip to the panel, slide
the panel into the closed position and attach the clip to the mainframe. It will be mounted so that the short leg
can be attached to the main frame jamb with the #8 x ½ self drilling screw. (See Figure 17)
FIXED PANEL HARDWARE
If the unit is an OXO configuration then the clip gets
installed differently. For the OXO units the fixed panel
clip #10 x ¾ self drilling screw is installed into the cavity
of the fixed panel clip and the #8 x ½ self drilling screw
attaches the clip to the door panel. (See Figure 18)
Be sure to reference the test report or Notice Of Acceptance for proper
quantity and placement of the fixed panel clips.

SCREEN FRAME INSTALLATION
Screen Frame Assembly (When not Integral)
1) The screen frame jambs must be installed first to
the mainframe jamb. The screen jambs interlock
to the mainframe jamb. Insert tail piece and rotate
out. (See Figure 22)
Note: Screen mainframe will be separate from
panel mainframe when exceeding 2 tracks. If your
unit is a 2P2T, 3P2T, 4P2T this will not effect you,
skip to the next section. If the unit does not have
screens, please skip to the next section.
JAMB ADAPTER
2) After screen jambs are in place screen rail sill adapter
is attached to glass panel mainframe. Interlock tail
piece and rotate down. (See Figure 23)
Note: If handleset has a key lock, you
will need to open the hole opposite the
thumbturn tail piece to 5/8”.
Figure 22
Figure 23
SLIDING GLASS DOOR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION Series 680/780
www.pgtindustries.com 11
3) Interlock the screen mainframe head with the glass
panel mainframe head. (See Figure 24)
4) Attach screen mainframe head to substrate as
needed.
Note: There are no installation holes prepped on
the screen frame extrusion. There are no anchor-
age requirements for code so space them as
needed.
5) Seal under entire length of sill and all frame
seams and also apply a small amount of sealant
where screen mainframe and glass door main
frame meet. (See Figure 25)
6) Shim as necessary to make frame plumb, level,
and square. Shim behind all frame jamb and header
installation screws and near standard keeper to
prevent frame distortion when installation screws are
tightened.
Note: Frame head and track must be level and
frame jamb must be plumb at jambs. Measure at
head, track, and latch to be certain that frame is
not bowed. Do not overtighten frame installation
screws this will warp the frame and prevent the
screen(s) from operating properly.
Note: If unit is an OXO then the screen astragal
adapter and screen astragal will need to be
installed. It will be installed at the end of the
installation and is in the parts and pieces section
of this assembly instruction manual.

SCREEN PANEL INSTALLATION
1) Position panel so that top of panel slips into frame header channel. Swing bottom of panel in until bottom
of panel is aligned over sill spline and set panel on roller spline. (See Figure 26)
Repeat procedure, with next outer
screen until all screens are installed.
Please see the configuration page for
the track the screens go on.
Warning: When raising and lowering the wheels,
if you feel pressure do not continue as this could
cause the adjustment screw to strip. Adjust each
screen until all screens roll freely and all screen
stiles and frame jambs are parallel.
When screens are properly adjusted, latch keep-
ers may be installed and raised or lowered to
make proper contact with latch P-cam.
Parts and Pieces
After the above steps have been completed, the unit is operating properly, and is set in place you are ready
for the final parts and pieces. Such as:
High Pile dust plugs:
Dust plugs are used to fill any voids where interlocking panels are set in the closed position and require a
weather seal. Position 4 high pile pads above and below the interlocking section of the doors in the closed
position. To do this mark the area where the doors interlock together in the closed position. Then open the
panels and place the high pile pads on the extrusion making sure that the adhesive backing makes good
contact to the extrusion. (See Figure 27)
DUST PADS
Note: It may be nessesary to
clean the surface that you are
appling the adheasive high pile
dust pads to if they have debris
or cutting oils on them. You want
to apply the pads to a dry clean
surface.
On some configurations you may
have to mark the track and then
remove the panels to get the
pads into place.
(Figure 26)
(Figure 27)
Note: Plastic interlocks may
need to be notched in order for
screen panel to fit in frame.
Notch accordingly so as not to
leave any large gaps.

PANEL BUMPERSThe 4 hole bumper stop can be used to stop the travel of a panel
on a bypass or to keep a panel from rolling off the track when
installing a pocket door. For a bypass it should be placed on the sill
screw cover adapter in such a way to keep the locking handle from
making contact with the next doors interlock. On a pocket door unit
it should be installed on the sill screw covers to keep a panel from
rolling off of the end of a track. (See Figure 28)
Note: For multiple panel units it
may be nessesary to also use
the panel come-a-long in con-
junction with the 4 hole bumper
stops.
PANEL COME-A-LONG
If the unit is a multi-panel, multi-tracked, or pocket door unit you
may install panel come-a-longs. This will allow the door to open
without having to move each panel individually and also keep the
panels from hitting the interlocks or making contact with the handle
hardware. They may be installed at the top/bottom or both on the
door panel. (See Figure 29)
The Come-a-long should be located in front of the vertical stile at
the top and/or bottom rail. As the panel moves down the track it will
make contact with the panel come-a-long and start driving the next
panel down the track. It installs with two number 8” x 1” sheet metal
screw (square drive). When located in the correct position it should
leave a gap of 1 7/8” between the handle and the interlock of the
panel. (See Figure 30)
1 7/8"
Note: Do not locate the part in
any other area than shown in the
drawing, doing so could cause
damage to the frame or glass.
Do not use longer screws. Doing
so could cause interference or
operational problems.

Adjustment Hole Plug
Once the doors are installed and working properly, you
may install the roller adjustment hole plugs. There are
two per operable panel and should be located on the
outside face of the door. (See Figure 31)
Screen Astragal and Screen Astragal Adapter:
If the unit has screens and is an OXO configuration,
then the screen astragal and screen astragal adapter
will need to be installed. Slide the screen astragal
into the screen astragal adapter.
Take the assembled part and install it onto the astragal
base. This is applied to the exterior of the stationary
panel’s astragal base as shown in the drawing.
(See Figure 32)
Use four screws #10 x¾” self drilling to attach the
astragal adapter and astragal to the glass panels
astragal base.
Once installed latch keepers may be installed and raised
or lowered to make proper contact with latch P-cam.
Caulk any seams where the astragal adapter and
astragal meets head or sill.
